ALL LEVELS | KICKOFF

This all-levels, 30-minute workout is the perfect way to kick off your path to building strength, endurance, and resilience. Whether you're new to rucking or a seasoned pro, this routine is designed to meet you where you are and help you take that first powerful step forward. 

Using just your bodyweight or, if you're more advanced, a sandbag, you’ll power through a series of effective moves that focus on building lower body strength, core stability, and upper body endurance. With every squat, push-up, and lunge, you’re building the foundation for a stronger ruck journey.

This is more than just a workout—it's the kickoff to something stronger. 💪

EQUIPMENT YOU NEED:

  • OPTIONAL: Sandbag or Sandbell

NOTES

  • Complete three rounds of exercises for a 30-minute time-cap workout. Start your clock aftr completing your warm-up exercises. Don't skip those!
  • This WOD is all levels, so it can be done as a bodyweight workout, but there are links to modify it for use with a sandbag.

REMINDER:

  • Soft count: 1, 2, 3, 4 ... this is when both (or all) limbs perform the exercise at the same time.
  • Hard count: 1,1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4...this is when only one limb does work at a time.
  • Each Side: Do all reps on one side before switching to complete all reps on the other side.
